Mail 5.2 doesn't show html/attachments in Lion 10.7.3

I recently upgraded to Lion from Snow Leopard.
The problem is that Mail version 5.2 (1257) doesn't show html content or attachments. Even Apple's own templates from the application itself doesn't show correctly.
I've made sure that the "show remote html content in the Preferences is checked.
I've also tried to rebuild the mailboxes without any changes. Html-content and pictures stil doesn't show.
How can I fix this?
Is there a command for the Terminal that can fix this?
MBP 15" 2.2 GHz (10.7.2) 4GB RAM

Step 1
Mail ▹ Preferences ▹ Viewing ▹ Display remote images in HTML messages: check
Step 2
If you still have the issue, back up all data before proceeding further. Whatever happens, you must be able to restore your system to the state it's in now.
Quit Mail if it’s running.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
Drag or copy – do not type – the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
defaults delete com.apple.mail PreferPlainText
Quit Terminal. Launch Mail and test.

App store doesn't show Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 as purchased and will resell it to me has anyone else noticed this?

The Apple app store doesn't show Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 as purchased and will resell it to me. I bought this computer (early 2011 macbook pro 17 in) new in oct 2011 it came with Lion installed has anyone else noticed this?

Barney,I did as you suggested and emailed app store support qutioning why the app store didn't recognize my OS LION software as purchased even though all of the iLife apps that came bundled with it are recognized as PURCHASED and here was the email response from robert@ the app store....< I understand that you are trying to re-install the OS X Lion as you had a Hard Drive crash but it is not showing as purchased from your Mac App Store purchase pane.
As the Mac OS X Lion was pre-installed to your computer , it will not be recognized as purchased in the Mac App Store, and because of that it is not available fro re-download for free. Also, computers that come preinstalled with Lion do not ship with the disk.
Dana, not worry as OS X Lion has a self recovery feature.

Mobile Safari mail link to doesn't show Exchange group

Has anyone noticed that while attempting to forward a URL from mobile Safari (iPhone/iPad), the composed message doesn't show Exchange contact groups?
If you have an Exchange contact group:
From Safari, try to Mail Link to this Page, then select the + icon in the To field in order to bring up contact groups. I haven't been able to forward a URL from Safari to an Exchange address book recipient.
Other applications do expose the Exchange group: Photos and the Mercury browser, for example.
iPhone 4 (ATT), version 4.3.3. Not sure what version of Exchange, but it's at least 2007. Windows Live group doesn't show, either, FWIW.

I can't receive my e-mails nor does it shows that I have any

Hello ozne,
as a first step please have a look at these "General infos about the Adobe Account"
https://www.adobe.com/account.html and http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html.
Did you purchase your product from these firms like Amazon? If yes, this is not a serial number, only a code with which you can request a serial number from Adobe. Please have a look at http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html. (Start here: How did you purchase your product?)
The following part, so I just see at least, ceased to exist on my Adobe website, everything takes place in the link from above. I leave it as an info yet, it might still fit for you. For this purpose, please click your way through to your Adobe Store and find the button "Get Serial Number". Fill in the form and after a while you will get the real serial number.
Good luck!

Mail 5.1 doesn't show my latest reply

Is there any way I can get my mailbox that I synced to Gmail to show my last reply to an email thread? I suppose its not a big problem but its kind of annoying that I can't see my last reply unless someone else replies back and then it'll show it. Has anyone else have this issue?

Mail 3.6 doesn't show new message in IMAP folder

Hello,
I am using Mail with an IMAP server.
On this IMAP server, mails are automatically sorted to different mailboxes (IMAP folder) via .procmail.rc directives.
When I receive an Email and when this email is dispatched in the correct mailbox, Mail3.6 doesn't display this new message.
Questions : How to set-up Mail3.6 to correctly display new incoming mail server sorted in IMAP folder ? or How to overcome this Mail bug ?
PS : This question was already asked a few months ago on Apple Bug Report, answer was that this bug will be corrected on the next release.... Seems not...
Thank you by adance

Hello,
I am having a very similar problem that just started happening recently when I started using gmail folders instead of my school's email (both IMAP).
I have all emails configured for IMAP and the messages arrive fine, but when mail applies my custom filters and the messages are moved to the individual folders, the new message indicator (on the file and on the dock icon) are not present. The only new messages that appear are those in the mail Inbox. When I then click on the individual folders (I have to click through them all individually) it recognizes the new, unread email and updates the indicators (both next to the custom folder and on the dock icon).
This is a frustrating issue because I do not have any indication that I have new mail unless I go and click on each folder individually.
The issue just started occurring when i switched to using my gmail account. The folders seem to be set up appropriately to move messages in Mail and also have them labeled on gmail ([GMAIL]/foldername), but Mail just doesn't seem to recognize the messages as new once they have been moved to the folders until I sync (either by clicking on the folder or by using the "synchronize all accounts" command).
Any suggestions? I found this same issue in the archived questions (http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7513842), but it was not resolved.
Thanks,
Daniel

Can receive mail, but it doesn't show up in inbox?

My inbox has randomly stopped receiving new mail. When I click "Get Mail," the Message Activity Bar does say there are incoming messages, yet once completed, no new mail shows up in my inbox.
I can send emails fine. The problem is the inbox.
(I have a POP account if this makes any difference.)

I had exactly the same problem. Messages were on the server but would not display on my inbox. I have a Cox POP account. I deleted my mail setup from the mail program and reinstalled with no luck.
On an off chance, I added my second e-mail account to MAC mail first. All of my test e-mails showed up. I then deleted out my first e-mail account setup in MAIL program. I then re-added my original POP mail account that would not display my inbox e-mail. All of a sudden, my inbox started retrieving both of my e-mails & displaying them properly in my inbox.
I have no idea why this worked but it did. Prior to this I tried to delete out my original e-mail setup, rebuild my mail boxes... but none of this worked.
Hope this helps.

Sent mail from iPhone doesn't show on Macbook Pro

I recently update my Mac to Mountain Lion and my iPhone to iOS6. The mail app on my mac won't show the emails I sent from my iPhone. Is there a way to enable this?

It is, I used to be able to see all mail sent from all my devices on the old mail app. I can only see the messages I have sent from my Mac.

Attachment Pane doesn't show all attachments

I am using Thunderbird 31.1.1 on a Windows Vista System.
At times, I get an email with multiple attachments. When I click on the small arrow in the attachment pane to see all the attachments, I only get to see one or two of them and not all of them. There is no scroll bar in the attachment pane that I can fine.
Help?

At the top of the attachment pane, there is a spot where the cursor changes into a double-arrow, and at that point you can click and drag the pane up and down. Also, the complete list of attachments is displayed under Message/Attachments.

Mail doesn't show new messages

Mail sometimes doesn't show new messages for an IMAP account. The badge in the dock says that there is a new mail but it doesn't show up in the inbox. I'm sure that I didn't just miss it, because, smart mailboxes will not find that new mail as well. When I restart mail, the mail finally shows up in the inbox as well.
Anybody else seeing this and what can I do to resolve that issue?
Thanks!

I'll bring everyone up to speed on what's been happening with my family accounts. I first suspected Safari, because it seemed to be a local problem, but then, inexplicably, all mobileme mail accounts tied to that family account, which included 4 subaccounts and 1 mail-only account, not only did not work in mail.app, but also failed in other email clients I tested, including clients on Linux. Also, the webmail version was not working well, either.
So, if your problem is isolated to a single computer and just to mail.app, or just with a particular network, then I think the local troubleshooting steps are the way to go.
But, if your problem extends to other platforms, clients, and webmail, then it is likely an issue the engineers at Apple will have to figure out. I found the online chat service for mobileme users to be very helpful in checking through all the 'usual suspects' and after we had pretty much ruled out any of the usual culprits, it was escalated to the engineers, who are working on it now.
They were able to release all the email that had been piling up, but there are still some glitches they are trying to iron out. As an aside, I have been personally managing various mail servers for a dozen years, and am well aware of the difficulties in diagnosing email problems, and it was stumping me, and I have intimate knowledge of Exim and Exchange and various email modules used with mx services.
+While this 'should never happen', it's unrealistic for users to expect it never will. Of all the services provided on the Internet, email, is arguably the most complex service and it's become much more complex in the past few years. In my work, typically 94% of all email traffic hitting the server is filtered out as spam. So, the 6% that is allowed through is the stuff most of us see and are spending time and resources filtering out the 20-40% additional unwanted spam that the host let through because if they tightened it down any further the risk of false positives would become too great. I spend way more time on the mail service aspects of my job than the web services, and mail problems occupy at least 80% of my troubleshooting logs. So, while email seems more 'simple' than the exotic and bandwidth intensive services like video chat, voip, and web2 transactions, compared to the amount of wasted bandwidth and cpu cycles filtering packets, I think email is the number one problem service for most host providers. We tried to depend upon it for mission-critical communications, and it was never designed for that initially, and the spammers are making certain it won't achieve that status at least in the near future. If anything, email is your least dependable Internet service. Combine this with the growing array of user configurations, email clients, forwarding/retrieving/syncing scenarios, and user experience, and you may find yourself uttering a little prayer now and then for the poor email administrators and support personnel.+
[end of sermon - thanx for letting me get that off my chest; I feel better now! I'll feel a lot better when my email is flowing smoothly, but that's out of my hands for now.]

Mail Account doesn't show up!

My mail account is set up under my mail settings but doesn't show up in mail. When I open mail, it simply shows the screen to help me set up a new account. Please help.
Thanks

Additional info.
The new account is a personal account in my own domain.
'Mail' obviously recognises it as it shows the 3 messages

Mail.app not recognizing/only partially recognizing attachments

Hi,
Since upgrading to OS X 10.5, mail.app intermittently doesn't fully recognize attachments. The mail.app *Message Viewer* window correctly lists the email subject and the no. of attachments. But viewing the message shows no attachment, nor is there any 'save attachment' button.
However View -> Message ->*Raw Source* will show the attachment, albeit encoded as base64
My workaround for now is to highlight the message in the Message Viewer window and then select File -> *Save Attachments...* But it's highly inconvenient. Right-mousing on the message in the Message Viewer window does not offer the "Save Attachments..." menu item.
I've experienced the problem with someone sending me an attached PDF, and also regularly from Outlook/Exchange people sending me meeting invitations with attached .ics files. They all show up as a message with 1 item attached in the Message Viewer window, but there's no attachment when the message is viewed, unless I select View->Message->Raw Source
Anyone found a pattern or a workaround? Experiencing the same problem?
thx, ...b

Exact same thing here. This solution does work. But why doesn't attachment won't just show up when you view the message as Plain Text, which is, and always has been, my default. This has always worked in previous versions of Mail.

Auto display HTML attachments in body / email sent from mac mail

Hi,
One of my clients has received an email written in MAC Mail, the email doesn't display correctly instead what would be the body of the email appears as an html attachment, he doesn't want to have to click the attachment to preview it as he doesn't have to
do this on the iphone (also an apple device hmm....), I cant see any way of making it auto display the html in the body without clicking it.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi,
Can you confirm if the sender has this problem sending emails to other recipients?
Please logon your Webmail(or OWA), does that message display as an attachment as well?
If other Outlook recipients also see the email body as an attachment and you can verify it shows as an attachment on Web as well, I'm afraid we should blame the Apple Mail Client, since I've seen some Apple Mail users have this problem:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1947994?tstart=0
Kindly have the sender check if the setting like Edit > Attachments > Send Windows friendly Attachments
has been checked.
If I'm not getting this wrong, we should confirm this issue with Apple:
https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa
Feel free to post back of course.

Mail changes HTTP POST to HTTP GET in HTML attachments?

Has anyone else noticed this? I'm using an encrypted e-mail system from Voltage Security (www.voltage.com) and my co-workers swear it used to work on the iPhone prior to iPhone 2.0 firmware.
The way the system works is that it sends encrypted content as an HTML attachment. The recipient opens the attachment, clicks the button, and the browser will then POST the encrypted content back to the server so that the server can decrypt it and display it as output back to the browser.
The problem is that the iPhone mail application appears to be mangling the attachment and changing the SUBMIT type on the HTML FORM from POST to GET. This totally breaks the system since the server is not expecting a GET and of course, it doesn't have the information necessary.
There doesn't appear to be a setting to disable this behavior. Is anyone aware of a work-around to prevent Mail on the iPhone from mangling the attachments in this way? Mail on OS X does not behave the same way. The attachment is left in tact on OS X and properly POSTs through the browser (at least when using Firefox as the default browser).

Yes, but it does not work.

Why Mail doesn't show content of emails?

Since some days Apple Mail doesn't show always the content of an e-mail message. In the window at the right hand of the columns with folders and incoming mail and in the fullscreen mode only the headers (To, From, Subject) are visible, not the content (text, images, attachments). If there is an attachment, I can see that by clicking 'show in Quicklook'.
The problem started a couple of days ago. And sometimes Mail shows the content after receiving an e-mail, immediately after a first view no more.
Rebuilding the mailbox doesn't change this.
Thanks for your suggestions to solve this problem.

Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
Triple-click the text on the line below to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is corrupt and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.
